Hate to love- details.
A/N: hey ppl… this is not a chapter… it's just sorta an author's note, telling you abt the info that I missed out in the other chapters… This is about the curse and abt the best friends of the royalty… thanx to SmileyFacePerson who reminded me. And pls keep in mind, I'm making the curse up. It's not in Tamora Pierce's books… ok?
Anyway, the curse is something like a spell, a VERY strong spell. Well… you all know that… anyway, Defiance against the spell once it's activated is death. These spells were commonly used in the past among parents when they wanted their children to marry well… 'well', as in someone rich. Yes, ppl were mercenary those days. Well… they just wanted their child to live a good life, so we can't really blame them. The curse is cast upon the parents' risk. After casting the spell, their gift will be at risk and they may lose their gift, which is very important for healers, sorcerers, and some warriors. If deprived of each other, WHEN the curse is activated, they will not associate with others and let themselves die of starvation, depression, or what ever they die of. I can't think of anymore reasons. So. If the curse is NOT activated, then they will NOT die even if deprived. Once the curse is activated, both parties are bound to each other FOREVER. Some live together just to escape the curse, and some fall in love after the curse. If one of them kills themselves, as in suicide, the other will also die. But, if they're killed, as in murder or a fatal accident, the other party still lives, but is not allowed to remarry. They are to remain single for the rest of their lives. So… you understand the curse now? Feel free to ask me if you have any questions, I'll be glad to ans them.
A/N: Now, on to the best friends of the 2 royalty.
You know their best friends are Jenna and Danment, right? So, since prince Yaven and princess Malrina are royalty, a lot of people would want to be their friends, right? Yes. But jenna and danment are not these type of ppl. Janne is a friend of the court, in the same class as malrina when she goes for the lessons. That's how they 'met' each other, as in know each other. Jenna's father, Duke Alan, is the right-hand man of King of Valendra, the name I will tell you in later chapters, so jenna comes to the palace quite often.
Danment, on the other hand, is the COUSIN of prince yaven. His mother, is the cousin of King Jaysen, his father is his cousin- in- law. Sorry I didn't mention this in earlier chapters, I only wrote that he was the King's cousin, not cousin- in- law, well, In this story, Duke Dorian is the cousin- in- law of King Jaysen. Ok?
The both of them were childhood friends, much like jenna and Mal, but in the duration in which they had to earn their knight shield.
A/N: Things to highlight first. Jenna, Mal, Yaven and Danment all HAVE the gift. Jen's limegreen, Mal's orange, like Duke Roger in the tamora pierce book, Yaven's purple and Danment's blue. As for the kings and queen's, I'll explain later, but they also HAVE the gift.
